> I have compiled the VM many times today, and have tried Tim Rowledge's suggestions as well. None of these attempts have been able to call the FFI. I have used the --enable-ffi=yes option on the configure program. One thing I've noticed about the configure program is the output it displays, "checking for ffi_call in -lffi...no." I have never seen it display a "yes." I don't know if that is important or what it means.
Well, assuming you've built and installed libffi from source, it should be
living in /usr/local/lib. The system needs to have /usr/local/lib in it's
library search path so you need to do one of the following:
1) /usr/local/lib mentioned in /etc/ld.so.conf (run ldconfig -v as root after
doing that)
or
2) set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib. This needs to be set
every time you log in, however (in your .login or .profile).
I recommend 1), since lots of stuff gets put in /usr/local/lib.
Once either 1) or 2) is true, the configure script _should_ be able to find
libffi.
